How to store high-pressure hoses to slow down aging.

Due to the inherent properties of rubber, all rubber products undergo changes in their physical characteristics and performance levels over time. High-pressure hoses, which are made from rubber, are no exception. Below, we’ll explain how to store them to slow down their aging process.

Firstly, regarding storage duration, a rotation scheduling system should be implemented to minimize the storage time of high-pressure hoses. If prolonged storage is unavoidable and the following

 recommendations cannot be followed, the high-pressure hoses should be thoroughly inspected before use.

Secondly, physical storage conditions. The storage of high-pressure hoses must avoid mechanical stress, including excessive stretching, compression, or deformation, and prevent contact with sharp or pointed objects. High-pressure hoses should preferably be stored on suitable supports or placed on a dry surface. High-pressure hoses packaged in coil form must be stored horizontally. High-pressure hoses should not be stacked. If stacking is unavoidable, the height of the stack should not cause permanent deformation of the lower hoses. As a rule, it is advisable to avoid winding high-pressure hoses around pillars or hooks. If high-pressure hoses are shipped as straight pipes, it is recommended to store them horizontally rather than bending them.

I hope you will store the high-pressure hoses according to the methods mentioned above to prevent them from aging more quickly and thereby increasing your operating costs.
